5 15 20 600 0 600 1200
OBJECTIVES
Thesis projects must reflect the culmination of the development of the student’s architectural skills and
design attitude. The project must be chosen so as to address and resolve, through design, all aspects of the
design process.
METHODOLOGY
The student must submit to the department the synopsis of at least two different design/ research projects for
approval out of which one would be selected depending on its merit for scope of design intervention and its
scale.
A guide to supervise the studies will be appointed by the head for each student. Regular progress in studio
will be carried in six states during the exercise; each stage will have a presentation to the internal jury for
thesis.
The stage submissions must be based and supported by detailed analytical studies that lay down the validity
of the design criteria and detailed methodology. The following are the basic guidelines for the planning the
thesis design project and its submissions:
1. Detailed site study of existing site conditions and context and evolving design directives and concept.
2. Case studies to be clubbed with library research and surveys.
3. Site restrictions should be followed as applicable for building byelaws of parking, FAR, fire, security
and services.
4. Initial concept stage to experiment with shapes and forms to evolve a built volume through block model
studies.
5. Incorporating landscape to understand interaction between built and open space.
6. Study and address issues like movement of people and traffic services, waste disposal management etc.
7. Develop details for use of materials, lighting, landscape and services.
8. Final proposal to include specialized aspects o service details, assessment of environmental impact,
innovative structural systems and material etc.
In special cases depending upon past achievements and aptitude, the institute may allow a research project to
be undertaken in lieu of a design project.
SCOPE OF STUDY
